Maintaining a clean environment is critical in food processing, dairy, beverage, chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical facilities. ThermOmegaTech, an expert in self-actuating thermostatic valve technology, supplies high-temperature washdown stations that quickly and efficiently clean and sanitize equipment.

ThermOmegaTech’s STVM® Washdown Station delivers a high-temperature wash at a user-defined temperature. It uses the proprietary Silent Venturi Mixing Valve (STVM®) to combine steam and water. The mixing valve’s design is self-scouring, which prevents mineral buildup in tight spaces and reduces maintenance frequency.

Maintaining competitor washdown units can be time-consuming due to complex disassembly, special tooling requirements, and non-reusable components. The STVM® Washdown Station has a simple cartridge design to minimize downtime during routine maintenance. The cartridge is removed with a wrench and cleaned in a descaling solution before reassembly. The station is in-line serviceable, so the operator switches out the STVM® Cartridge with a spare, and the unit operates in minutes.

Worker safety is every facility’s priority, so it is built into the washdown operation. The STVM® Washdown Station has two safety features to keep your employees safe. The mixing valve is designed to reduce flow if the output temperature exceeds the factory set point and will completely stop flow 15°F above that. The unit also has interlocking steam and water shut-off ball valves, so both inlets shut off simultaneously to prevent accidents.

Due to the unique design of the STVM® Cartridge’s water and steam mixing spool, the unit operates at around 20 decibels less than competitor washdown units. This reduces overall operator stress and improves workplace conditions.

The unit functions entirely mechanically and requires no outside source of electricity to operate. Compact and reliable, the STVM® Washdown Station is a beneficial addition to any facility.
